 * Hi,
 * I just finished designing a custom header for my blog [http://www.livingwithballs.com](http://www.livingwithballs.com)
 * The inove theme I’m using automatically puts the title in the header. Since I’ve
   designed a custom header, I no longer need that.
 * My question is: Where do I go in the HTML editor to remove that code so the title
   no longer shows up in the header.
 * Thanks in advance,
    John

 * Hi John,
 * You’ll want to edit the templates\header.php file, and look for the following
   piece of code about 15 lines from the top:
 *     ```
       <div id="caption">
         <h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
         <div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Simply remove the `<div id="tagline">` line, so the code looks like this:
 *     ```
       <div id="caption">
         <h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * You’ll still have the H1 for your SEO, but the caption will be gone. Hope this
   helps!

 * A better option for SEO purposes would be to use the original markup:
 *     ```
       <div id="caption">
         <h1 id="title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
         <div id="tagline"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * and replace `#header h1 {display:none;}` in style.css with:
 * `#header h1,#tagline {position:absolute;top:-500px;left:-5000px}`
 * which leave both the blog title & description available for the search engines
   but removes them from graphical browsers.
